It is a small-scale power system with distributed energy resources. To realize the distributed generation potential, adopting a system where the associated loads and generation are considered as a subsystem or a microgrid is essential. In this article, a literature review is made on microgrid technology.
The studies run on microgrid are classified in the two topics of feasibility and economic studies and control and optimization. The applications and types of microgrid are introduced first, and next, the objective of microgrid control is explained. Microgrid control is of the coordinated control and local control categories.
Microgrid is an important and necessary component of smart grid development. It is a small-scale power system with distributed energy resources. To realize the distributed generation potential, adopting a system where the associated loads and generation are considered as a subsystem or a microgrid is essential.
Since they enable an integrated approach for micro-resources-based distributed energy resources, storage systems, demands, and voltage source converters at the consumer end, all within a compact footprint, microgrids are viable alternatives to the traditional grid.
The two control approaches for microgrids namely hierarchical control and distributed control are presented in Reference 207, where, the main features of these two methods are discussed and
Microgrids (MGs) have the potential to be self-sufficient, deregulated, and ecologically sustainable with the right management. Additionally, they reduce the load on the utility grid.
Under the carbon neutrality goal, the projects to develop zero-carbon microgrids are emerging all over the world. However, the categories, trends, challenges, and future research
Policies related to microgrids have been promulgated continuously, lists of related demonstration projects for microgrids application have been announced regularly, and pilot projects
